connection to public network

when booting up I get a message saying I am connected to a public network, the message provides the IP address.
how can I find out what network the IP address represents?
if I don't want to be connected to this network how do I break the connection?
if I want to be connected how do I get ZASS to accept the connection and not notify me everytime I boot up?

Re: connection to public network

What is the IP address?
